Few, if any, chip names have been left unscathed from the brutal selloff. But it's a chance to hunt for bargains.

CNBC's Jim Cramer said investors shouldn't give up on semiconductor stocks despite the recent sell-off, arguing that strong demand for chips continues to support the industry's long-term growth. Cramer highlighted Micron's long-term customer agreements and the expanding use of CPUs from Intel and AMD as reasons the sector's underlying fundamentals remain strong.

Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares (NYSE:SOXL) experienced a significant Power Inflow alert, a key bullish indicator that is closely tracked by traders who value order flow analytics, specifically institutional and retail order flow data.

I remain bullish on semiconductors, supported by strong AI demand across GPUs, custom ASICs, memory, networking, and foundries. SOXX trades at roughly 20x forward earnings, which I do not view as excessive given current growth.

SOXL offers an attractive risk-reward setup as semiconductor fundamentals remain robust and valuations have reset to compelling levels. GPU demand is strong, evidenced by surging Taiwan exports and rising GPU rental prices, supporting continued semiconductor earnings growth.

I remain bearish on SOXL, as I find 3x levered ETFs to be inherently risky and this is an inopportune moment for the fund. Chip stocks have traded better over the past week but remain stuck in a back-and-forth range. Semiconductor stocks face risks from AI funding, regulatory headwinds, and high starting valuations, limiting the bullish setup for the time being.
